Pan-fried Breaded Smelt and Salad (Recipe Link)
Pan-fried, breaded, wild-caught lake smelt. Wow, like eating fish and chips in one dish… so yummy, so crispy! Romaine lettuce salad with red onion, red pepper, baby tomatoes, cucumbers, Ranch dressing. These are whole smelt; no need to clean them, you just eat the entire little fishies; you can’t even tell they have bones or…
Read MoreInstant Pot Beef Stew (Recipe Link)
Instant Pot beef stew with onions, celery and carrots. I’m on maintenance and experimenting occasionally with a few extra carbs, hence the carrots. This is a lovely stew! You can leave out the carrots and use mushrooms or other low carb veggies instead. Original recipe is from Amy and Jacky. They do a lot of…
Read MoreCheeseburgers and Salad
Air-fried cheeseburgers (4 oz each) and Romaine lettuce salad with red onion, red pepper, baby tomatoes, a few raspberries, Balsamic mayo (1/2 T mayo, 1/2 T Balsamic salad dressing). I actually ate four burgers (see photo below). This was a delicious meal!

Sardine and potato hash, with three boiled eggs for extra protein. For those of you who need a lower carb count, I make something imilar with Konjak noodles which is really delicious, but much lower in carbs.

Read MoreTabbouleh Salad with Hemp Hearts (Recipe Link)
This pretty tabbouleh (tabouli) salad is made with hemp hearts instead of bulgur wheat, so it’s pretty low in carbs and also grain free. Note: I added a little Balsamic vinegar to the original recipe. The original recipe is here. Variations: Add chicken (in the salad or on the side), feta cheese, goat cheese crumbles,…
Read MoreBrisling Sardines (Sprats) and Potato Hash
Brisling sardine hash with green onions, a small potato (I’m on maintenance and can afford a few extra carbs), ginger/garlic/chili paste, salt; Romaine lettuce salad with red onion, red peppers and salsa mayo. Delicious! However, this meal was low in protein (only 16 gm in the fishies), so I will likely need to eat something…
Read MoreCelery and Liver Pâté Snack
Celery and liver pâté. This is a delicious combination… and a really low-carb, healthy snack. I love it! Tip: removing the strings from the outside of the celery ribs elevates this snack.
